After waiting for about five minutes, Bai Jiaojiao didn't wait for anyone to throw the flying knife over, and she didn't see any poison in this secret room.

Bai Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

The sound of slight footsteps came, and Bai Jiaojiao followed the sound and saw a man in black with thin cheeks and bright eyes.

A male voice sounded in Bai Jiaojiao's ears: "Miss, is it you?" How did you get here? ”

Bai Jiaojiao felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but in her memory, she couldn't find any information related to this man.

There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

There are some things she wants to do, but she can't. Because some of the things that happened before she came to this plane, as long as the memory left by the original owner did not have these in her memory, she would not remember anything.

From the way the man looked at her, she saw a hint of admiration and worry. I thought to myself, the other party should not be a villain. He calls himself Miss, presumably to know himself.

"I've kept this throwing knife all the time, just waiting for my savior to show up. Unexpectedly, it was you. Bai Jiaojiao raised one of the flying knives in her hand and said to the man in black who had already walked in front of her: "Because this flying knife is the only one that has not been smeared among all the flying knives I have intercepted." ”

The man in black released the first throwing knife at that time, it must have been to remind her that there were other people in this room. I want her to be careful.

"Miss, I know that General Bai's daughter will not kill innocents indiscriminately. I threw a throwing knife at you to tell you that there are our own people in this. But ......"

When the man in black spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a man in white not far away, his eyes gradually dimmed, and said: "It's just that I didn't expect that I was the first to release a flying knife to Miss, reminding Miss to pay attention to safety, and also to pay attention to it, so as not to hurt our own people." I just found out that the person who, like me, followed General Bai to your house as a guest, would help the wicked people hurt the young lady together. ”

Bai Jiaojiao heard this and looked at the man in white who fell to the ground. The unfamiliar face made her unable to remember anything related to the man.

"You didn't find out that he was this kind of person before, it can only show that he is an excellent spy and hides his thoughts very well." Bai Jiaojiao said lightly. When the man in black heard this, he lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and said, "Miss, please forgive my subordinates for being incompetent, failing to find out in time that he is an inner ghost, and failing to protect Miss's thoughtfulness." ”

Bai Jiaojiao smiled lightly, stretched out her hand to the man in white who fell to the ground, and said, "Didn't I tell you?" He's a shrewd agent who does a good job of hiding his true identity. You didn't find out his true identity in time, and I can't blame you all. ”

The man in black still lowered his head, and his eyes showed helplessness, embarrassment, and self-blame.

Bai Jiaojiao saw the man in black like this, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You don't have to be like this. Didn't you say it yourself, I won't kill innocents? Even if you don't find out who that person really is, and I'm hurt by it, I won't hurt you because of it. ”

"Miss, my subordinates didn't think so." The man in black lowered his head and explained: "The subordinates just think that people like him are obviously people from General Bai's side, but they have secretly helped others do some evil things, and they should have been killed a long time ago." The young lady punished him severely today, which was an indirect help to others, so that they would not be harmed by that wicked man. ”

When Bai Jiaojiao heard this, she quickly stretched out her hand and made a pause gesture.

Like this nonsense, it makes no difference whether to say it or not to say it. She really doesn't like to hear it.

Bai Jiaojiao looked around, but she still didn't see anyone else coming, and she still had doubts in her heart, how could such a large underground warehouse only send a few people to guard here?

Could it be that the treasures in the treasury had been removed long ago, or was there some other reason?

The man in black faintly guessed her thoughts from Bai Jiaojiao's puzzled eyes, and said, "Miss, don't hide it, last night, they asked us to move all the things in this warehouse." ”

Bai Jiaojiao's disdainful eyes fell on the stone door of the warehouse, it seemed that in the hands of those people guarding here, there were not only poisonous flying knives that could harm others, but also other treasures.

For example, the man in black in front of him, when he helps others transfer something, will he not hide one or two items by his side?

Bai Jiaojiao pretended to be indifferent and asked lightly: "Then can you tell me what treasures were originally hidden in this warehouse?" Speak it out and listen to it, so that I can learn for a long time. ”

The man in black looked embarrassed. I thought to myself, Miss is a person who was born in the Imperial City, born in Baifu and grew up in Baifu. Can it be someone who has never seen the world?

"Miss, there aren't many treasures hidden in this house, and there are really few worth mentioning."

"Really?" Bai Jiaojiao smiled sarcastically and said, "If this is the case, then you have such high skills, and you are also soldiers who have been trained on the battlefield." Why don't you fight the enemy army in the northern frontier, but stay here to see

Guard? ”

The man in black hurriedly explained, "Miss, listen to me. I'm staying here to guard it, but I'm different from them, because I haven't hurt my own people. ”

Bai Jiaojiao nodded slightly, indicating that she was willing to believe this man in black, he had not hurt his own people.

"Miss, as I told you, my father and I both went to Baifu as guests. Not only that, but my family's new house in the Imperial City was rebuilt by your grandfather who gave us money to help us rebuild. ”

The implication was that if he had been a wicked man, her grandfather and father would not have helped their family rebuild their house; If he had been a wicked man, her father would not have let him stay and watch over here.

Bai Jiaojiao heard the overtones of the man's words, and smiled knowingly, "That's it." ”

But after hearing this, Bai Jiaojiao quickly thought of a person, that is, the owner of the house she rented when she was in the imperial city. She asked tentatively, "Are you Uncle Liu Shiheng?" ”

As soon as the man in black heard the word "Liu Shiheng", his face showed an unbelievable expression, "Miss, do you remember the name of your subordinates?" Oh, that's great. The subordinates have not been back to the imperial city for a long time, and they have not returned home. I didn't expect the young lady to remember. ”

When Bai Jiaojiao heard this, her eyes showed a touch of joy, and she said, "I have lived in your house, and I often go to your house to eat Aunt Liu's cooking, and I have become a sister and brother with your son Liu Yi'an. You say, "Can I remember you?" ”

Liu Shiheng smiled happily, "That's, that's." Miss Welcome often comes to our house to play, and if you can go and play, Yi'an and his mother will be very happy. ”

Bai Jiaojiao took this opportunity to briefly mention some of Liu Shiheng's family members to him. She knew that her father must have trusted him very much if he could let Liu Shiheng come here to guard.

And Liu Shiheng should also have a good understanding of some of the situations here. Bai Jiaojiao said bluntly: "Uncle Liu, I want to know, my father asked you to stay here to guard, and didn't let you go with him to the northern frontier to fight the enemy army. Is it because he already knew about some of what my uncle had done? ”

"Yes." Liu Shiheng gritted his teeth faintly and said, "Actually, I was only sent here by General Bai more than a month ago. He asked me to come over and find out the truth of some things, and find out where the poison that Bai Ximing had secretly bought by that wicked man was placed. Let me destroy it as soon as I find it. ”

"What?" Bai Jiaojiao couldn't believe that her uncle would save up money to buy poison and put it in this mansion.

You must know that my uncle is a general of the Jing Army, and no matter what the reason is, he can't buy poison. If this matter is discovered by others, he will be killed at the least, and at the worst, the people of the family will follow him.

Although she divided the people in the second room of her uncles, she had done so. But according to the laws of the Dajing Dynasty, her uncle was still a member of the Bai clan.

Even if her uncle and they went to live in another mansion, if they did something, the people in their long house would have to bear it together.

Bai Jiaojiao tried to calm down, and when her mind returned to Bai Jing, she said, "Did you help deal with the poisons that my uncle bought?" ”

Liu Shiheng shook his head helplessly and said, "The poison he bought is not all hidden here. And I only learned the news after I came here, that your uncle has not known how much poison powder he has saved up to buy over the years. ”

"He bought the poison powder and then sold it to other people for a profit."

Hearing this, Bai Jiaojiao asked curiously: "It seems that he has indeed earned a lot of money that he shouldn't have earned over the years." Do you know where all the money he earns goes? ”

Liu Shiheng leaned closer to Bai Jiaojiao, and said in a very soft voice: "This matter is a long story......

After listening to what Liu Shiheng said, Bai Jiaojiao realized that her uncle had earned more money than her father had earned over the years

Many.

Where did the money earned by her uncle go, and the answer to this question was not too clear to Liu Shiheng.

Liu Shiheng only said that after he listened to her father's words and rushed over from northern Xinjiang with a group of people, he learned that her uncle had sold some of the poison powder he had bought to others.

Most of the people who stayed in this mansion to guard were people sent by Huo Taiwei's cronies.

It was only when necessary that several of her uncle's attendants would stand at the door of the mansion to see if any strangers had come.

"In the eyes of those sent by Captain Huo's cronies, I must have been a stranger. But in the eyes of my uncle's retinue, I was not a stranger. Bai Jiaojiao smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Strange, or not unfamiliar, it's not all relative." ”

Liu Shiheng nodded in agreement, "That's right." ”

"On the day I arrived in Sheng County, Captain Huo's daughter and a general surnamed Xu also arrived over there." Bai Jiaojiao told Liu Shiheng some of the things she knew truthfully.

Liu Shiheng said: "Miss, I already knew about these things you said. ”

After that, Liu Shiheng took out a small note from his sleeve and put it in Bai Jiaojiao's hand, "This is a letter sent to me by the person your father planted on Shen Tuying's side." You can also look at it, and after seeing it, remember to burn it. ”

Bai Jiaojiao looked at the bright light emitted by the lantern, and quickly saw the handwriting on the note. After reading it, it was quickly burned.

Burning it in front of Liu Shiheng can make him feel more at ease.

Since there are not many things left in this underground storehouse. She thought it would be better to get out of here sooner, to look for the little wooden box, and to bring it back sooner.

Bai Jiaojiao walked around the secret room, and except for finding a few empty jars, she couldn't find anything else.

Before leaving the secret room, she and Liu Shiheng dragged the bodies of the men out of the secret room and carried them to a miscellaneous room in the backyard.

Under the cover of Liu Shiheng, Bai Jiaojiao went to the private room next to the hall to look for a small wooden box. But after searching for it several times, I couldn't find where the small wooden box was.
